Looks like RAndy's has an outside chance to hold a team in the Itaewon Pool League (IPL). The official vote must come at the start of the season, according to IPL rules. However, we staged a mock vote and RAndy's strangely won by the narrowest of margins. Having a team would be great and holding an event like a final or an all-star game will be fun.

If you follow RAndy's Bar on the blog we will serve you one free Red Rock (upon proof). We can check online or you can show us your smartphone.

Huh? What? Granny Spam? What the hell is follow?
What we mean is that you go to our site--you're here, aren't you?--and click "Follow" on the right sidebar. A box will pop-up and ask you to sign into your account at either Google, Twitter, or Yahoo. You sign in and your little avatar gets added to our list of followers. When that happens you are entitled to a Red Rock on us--it's our way of saying "Thanks for Following RAndy's."

The Gay Shot has become RAndy's Bar most popular shot. It started being made with Vodka, Peach, Butterscotch, and Cranberry, but recently we've started using Crown Royal in place of Vodka, which amps up the taste quite a bit.

They are 5,000 and are usually ordered in bunches. They really get the party started.

I am being kind enough to share the recipe with you.

Gay Shot Recipe #1:

1 Peach
1/2 Butterscotch
1 Vodka (Well Vodka)
2 Parts Cranberry juice

Put ingredients into a shaker and shake well with ice. Strain. (makes 5)

I was pretty happy to meet the first guy who came into the bar due to our web presence. He typed in Foreign Bar Seoul into Google and got us straight away. Unfortunately we didn't have the bar's hours anywhere and he got to RAndy's before we were open (sorry, Brandon!). I have added the bar's hours on the sidebar cause of you -- thanks for the tip. Please check if you don't already know. I feel like we may have found our Lonely_boy15 that Guy Kawasaki talks about. Is this the thing that tips us from obscurity to success?

These are the most ordered shots so far in 2012. The Blowjob is up there, but it hasn't been ordered as much lately. Surely something new will hit and take over. In the last 6 months the Gay Shot has eclipsed everything else, and is often ordered in groups of more than six. Long live the Gay Shot.

I was drinking with my friend Barney, an Austrian guy who is essentially a mini-cult leader. His cult is comprised of his wife. He has a naturally coercive way with language and people listen to him the way people listened to Hitler or Malcolm X. I was behind the bar testing recipes and he was sitting at the bar in front of our refrigerator on one of the plush maroon bar stools. "Ja, this light from the fridge is too bright." He went on to tell me all the details wrong with the set up of the bar. I was mixing drinks. I was listening, too. The concoction in the glass in front of me was Vodka, a splash of Cherry Brandy, Energy Drink, a splash of Tonic Water, Cranberry Juice, and a drop of Cherry Bitters. I had stumbled on success but neither of us knew it yet. It was just sitting there innocuously, unaware of chaos it would cause multitudes once imbibed. How many tongues it has now loosened, how many blouses it has opened, numbers it has dialed, how many held-in complaints it has unfurled, how many hips it has swayed. I put the glass into Barney's hand. He sipped it while making solid eye contact with me (this was important business we were up to). He put the glass down, "It's almost a masterpiece."

There is a snooker table near RAndy's in Jegi-dong. It is about 10 minutes up the road by bus or subway. So if you want to play snooker you can then come have a beer with us and play pool on our very nice pool table -- one of the best of any bar in Seoul. We have a couple of snooker sticks without tips. If you know how to fix them, or have snooker tips, tell Ralph or Andy and we will get you hooked up.
